| Abstract | Giardiasis is generally considered to be uncommon in Hong Kong, however, there is no published or available public health data to confirm this impression. There has been no reference to giardiasis in Hong Kong in the medical literature in the past 10 years. However, results from a laboratory which serves two practices on the south side of Hong Kong Island, suggest that giardiasis is a common infection in the community. The authors have therefore performed a retrospective study of the 94 episodes in 88 patients which yielded a diagnosis of giardiasis on stool microscopy. |
